I worked during this time. The sunglass mutiny was real in my department.

When I was going through cancer and chemo, I was told I needed to have a full 6 rounds of chemo but I’d previously been told just 4. Someone had gotten it wrong and they didn’t tell me until what I thought was my last session. I was devastated. My then boyfriend/now husband took me to see The Weather Man because it…

I had an afternoon to spend at the Vatican and wanted the best way to see what mattered most to my husband. I can see anything and be excited but he's a blood and guts historian and his true passion is art. I found a guide who was an art history major and she even listed her favorite artist as an outlier my husband…

I had this really annoying coworker. She'd bully another anxiety-ridden coworker into doing her work, she'd refuse to help me to the point I had to cover 3 service windows at a government office, she wouldn't speak to those of us who were somehow unworthy, all sorts of stuff. She's messed up enough that when she falls…

I sit in front of CNN at my job. The screaming noise that came out of her made me immediately hit the mute button, work policies be damned.

It says sold out online and that's the only one I liked. I might just trek to the suburbs to see if they have it. I need jeans and got a 20% off coupon in the mail so why not?

You try being the person piercing the ear. I did it so often and every parent would be under the impression a baby would just sleep through it. Even if they were awake when they sat down. Every single one screamed. You try the 2-piercer method and someone is a split second off and you get a misplaced hole when the…

There was a night the guilt overtook me. I felt bad for the dolls and stuffed animals sitting in my toy net rather than on the bed. I grabbed a few second-tier toys, then I felt even more guilty for the rest over there. I put all the toys in my bed and realized they couldn't all fit with me. So my martyr complex…

No way. Courthouse is too close to crazy family. I'd have a mountaintop or oceanside one any day of the week. Then set up an elaborate scavenger hunt to invites that only sane people could complete to limit the invite list to the supermaxelite among my relations.

Most of the people having conversations are online and everywhere. The actual startup that made these is based out of St. Louis. The group seems really cool, they were shooting a Today show segment in my building yesterday. Between them and the "Keurig for beer" group in my building, St. Louis is getting some fun tech…

I'm just getting into the world of Trademark/Patent Law as a legal assistant and everything I do is Class 9 so far! My theory has been that everything so far is made up and we all just keep nodding like these ideas are real and your Class 9 explanation is making me realize this conspiracy goes all the way to the top.

Hodkin's is super treatable for most people. I went through treatment and while it sucked, I typical treatment isn't horrible compared to the other chemo types out there. Recurrence means getting put on some of the worst treatments and the whole blood marrow transplant thing so you want to nip it in the bud early. 2…

In many of these municipalities the police are actually being paid more than many county PAs. I wish it was a money issue but I've looked at the budgets and it isn't. Our area actually has too many police academy graduates and not enough positions and yet we get crap because they actually want to have crap.

They absolutely are just letting it go. It's horrible to watch the police do nothing in retaliation.

Clayton (where the grand jury and county HQ are) is locked down with national guard troops. Shaw (where the highway stoppage happened) has roads blocked with street detours and armed police for a planned protest on I-44. Ferguson is keeping the police out and being allowed to burn. They either want to punish the…

In college I had to walk off campus a mile to get a notary to sign my absentee ballot. I could have had the university notarize it but it was their policy to charge and I was poor so I walked to my bank in the middle of January snows. I'm glad I did vote but I'm not pleased my state tries so hard to limit me from…

I followed a guy on Livejournal (lol I know) and during his time in SF I have never seen so many poop of the day photos. *Bonus points to anyone else who experienced those blog photos of poop and know who I'm referencing*

I knew you'd be here to be the expert on this. LJ taught me well. Great job!

Well, follow-up: I did just read some new stories posted and I feel like they are finally doing some research about his life and about due process. It's a start.

The Post seems to just report what they hear and don't attempt to verify any of it. There are enough videos and vines from events yesterday that take 15 seconds to watch and verify and yet they seem to be publishing the official press conference and unofficial information being leaked on purpose and not doing any…
